Nicole Kidman is delighted to hear that we all freaked out over Alexander Skarsgard's full-frontal scene on last Monday's Big Little Lies.

When the 49-year-old actress found out about the world's reaction to the scene, which included memes and screenshots galore, she howled with laughter.

"No way!" she exclaimed to Entertainment Weekly. "Well, it was a strange scene. My aim had to be so accurate."

The scene shows Perry (Alexander) attempt to seduce Celeste (Nicole) by showing her his erect penis poking out of his unzipped pants. When she rejects his offer of sex, he aggressively pulls her by the hair. She then grabs a tennis racket and slams it into his nether regions.

Alexander, who was likely wearing a prosthetic, made sure Nicole was careful regardless.

"Alex would say, 'Are you sure you know exactly what your mark is that you're hitting,'" she said with a laugh. "I would say, 'Yeah, yeah, don't worry'. But I was thinking, oops. I do play tennis so I knew that I'd be okay. Plus, I had a big target."

While it was a light-hearted moment to reflect on, Nicole admitted that most of the pair's scenes were tough to film.

Nicole and Alexander portray a couple whose relationship, which looks idyllic on the outside, has been marred by domestic abuse.

The mum-of-four said she wasn't prepared for the way the violence affected her.

"There were days and days of doing a lot of aggressive, really violent scenes," she revealed. "And I would go home and have a shower or have a bath and I would weep.

"And then one day, I just got a rock and I threw it through a glass door! I thought, oh my gosh, what is happening to me? I must have had a lot of pent-up [stress] because I was trying to hold it all in."

Alexander, 40, added that while the scenes were tough to shoot, having Nicole to work with made it a little easier.

"Those days were horrible," he said. "But having a partner like Nicole was extraordinary. We had an opportunity to get to know each other and build trust. And we'd check in with each other and make sure everything was okay. And then we'd check in again at the end of the day because it's tough to do that for 8-10 hours and then jump in your car and go home to your family. It's intense."

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Alexander said he would embrace Nicole after those scenes.

"It was very important to reconnect after shooting those scenes," he told the publication. “We made a point of checking in with each other, giving each other a hug."
